    That, wouldn't be on my list, Ed. As I remember, reviews were not very good - poor image quality, slow and inconsistent focus, no optical stabilization and short battery life. At the very least, you want something that will take good pictures that are in focus, IMHO.

    As a testament to the power of the smartphone camera systems, I downloaded an instructional video for my iPhone camera. 25 minutes of a guy fast-talking like an auctioneer, trying to go thorough all of the settings and editing features. The lens quality might not be top-end, but these things are packed with more features than I'll ever use (or remember.)

    Mobile phone cameras are OK for everyday photography. DH took a zoom photo of the same subject with his mobile and DSLR and the photo with the DSLR was far superior because it’s an optical zoom as opposed to the mobile digital zoom. He always says the day studio, press and sports photographers start using mobile phones that’s the day he’ll dithch his DSLR.

    I have to give the new iPhone 13 Pro the props for close up pics. The kids gave me one for my birthday and it is the cat's meow for quick macro shots with no messing with modes, settings and focus. I gave it a test Saturday looking at some local lepidoptera.

    My DSLR cams will also yield a good macro photo but you have to mess with them, going after the picture by setting the mode to however you want to shoot and then either playing with or triggering an automatic focus. With the 13 Pro, you don't have to do anything but move the iPhone as close as you want and snap.
